This week we had fun searching the Halloween trinkets at the dollar store. Some of the items will be used for goodie bags for a kids Halloween party. The rest were perfect for a quick and easy Halloween sensory bin.

Whether you have toddlers or kindergartners, a sensory bin is a fun way for them to explore and even calm themselves after a long day.

They loved this new addition and spent quite a while checking out what each item looked like in the light and pretending to cook the witch’s stew over candle light.

Once they were finished playing, I decided to try something new. Instead of putting it all away, I poured some of the rainbow rice into a pencil pouch. Then I added in a few of the skull erasers, googly eyes, table scatter, etc. to make our own Seek and Find pouch.

I just put a piece of clear packing tape across the zipper of the pouch, but for a younger child I would sew the zipper pull so you can’t just dump it.

The kids have been enjoying the Halloween Seek and Find pouch and the Halloween Sensory Bin all week.
